A nod towards the timeless design of Japanese implements, the Nata Hatchet & Nata Tool are as sleek as they are functional and are sure to impress anyone who loves a truly premium & thoughtfully-crafted tool. Use the Nata Tool to clear brush, strip bark, plank wood, and make kindling. The 12" stainless steel machete-like blade and a solid steel core (that extends through the length of the hardwood handle) lend stability and greater swinging weight yet still allow the tool to pack thin and light. This is an effective (and dare we say fun?) tool to have camping and bushcrafting. Ready for all-around control and precision? With a wide bevel and serious heft, the 7" easy-sharpen stainless steel blade of the Nata Hatchet handles chopping, kindling, splitting, and trimming like a pro. The extra-long edge makes it a go-to for pruning, debarking, and removing limbs, and the durable, smooth hardwood walnut handle reduces vibration in hand and resists cracking over time.
